Two words: “We’re liked”. So important, so true.

Two other personal observations:

The poetry, music, and language, of the Irish is, relative to its size, unequaled in the world. Culture is essential. Palestinians are famous in the region for their love of learning, poetry and literature. Have you heard Israeli music? Watched their theatre and television? And that’s a huge clue, because all over the world the achievements of Jewish entertainers and artists are spectacular. It’s as if the Israeli national pastimes of killing and hatred have drained away their innate gifts.

Two: I was fairly young then, but I followed Bobby Sands, and his cause, very closely. At the time I thought: How can anyone conquer a people willing to die of hunger rather than give in? It didn’t happen then, and it won’t happen now.

Éire go brách. Palestine go brách
